She is a beautiful child. Long hair pulled back in a pony tail tied with a
big bow. She saw me and did a quick twirl holding out her skirt as she spun.
I asked her how old are you? Six she answered with poise.
She wore a fancy dress, bright white shoes with a small heel and white stockings.
I asked what was she doing up so early and where was she going?
She tells me, "to have my picture taken."
I tell her how beautiful I think she looks. She points to her outfit.
With pride she points to her dress, to her shoes, to her stockings
and tells me the brand name for each.
When she left, I wondered.
When we, or children are so absorbed with keeping up with "brands" or
commercials do we discourage curiosity or the enjoyment of each other?
